From the Garden: An Interview with King Rob - New Visual "Slick Talk" (Official Video)

King Rob makes his TGF debut with a strong new set of visuals for “Slick Talk”

Everything in history, always repeats itself, whether in the arts, politics, fashion. I love to see the imprint that Chicago Drill has left on the music industry, crossing national and international borders from NYC, all the way to the UK Most commonly used in music, it’s amazing to see the number of artists that leave behind a legacy to inspire the next generation of artists. Speaking in terms of the next generation of artists, Chicago has been bringing nothing but straight fire for a while now. Chicago based artist King Rob is one of the artists who take pride on paying homage where it’s due, and he does just that on this Chiraq - 2013- esque visual for his latest single “Slick Talk”
